<p>H. C. S. Motor Car Company was a short-lived Indianapolis, Indiana, automobile manufacturer. It may have built as many as 3,000 cars between the summer of 1920 and 1926, when its doors were closed by its creditors.</p><br>
<h2>Incorporation</h2><br>
<p>H. C. S. Motor Car Company was incorporated with $1,000,000 in capital in late 1919 by Harry C. Stutz, founder and former president of the Stutz Motor Car Company, with his friend Harry Campbell as treasurer and Samuel T Murdock as vice-president.</p><br>
<p>Stutz served as president and managing director. He also was the majority stockholder and chairman of the board of directors.</p><br>
<h2>Early models</h2><br>
<p>A prototype was displayed at the end of 1919. The press noted the hand embossed leather upholstery was on very low seats, the cushions sat directly on the floor. Others reported the center of gravity was very low and the top of the windshield was less than the height of the average man. Demonstrators did not go to dealers until May 1920 because the new factory building was not progressing as it should and production was restricted by difficult conditions in the busy factory of the Stutz Fire Engine Company.</p><br>
<h3>Production</h3><br>
<p>The first production cars were roadsters and touring cars. A coupe was added in late 1920 and a 4-door sedan was added to the catalogue in July 1921. The body height of the sedan was "low with a European look" but "ample head room" remained.</p><br>
<h3>Prices</h3><br>
<p>The economic climate of the early 1920s was unstable, with very damaging short sharp booms and busts. Production was cut back from the planned ten cars per day to only five and prices were cut by $200 on all models as of August 1. 1921. Rolls-Royce had announced a $1250 cut in their chassis price two weeks earlier. Further price cuts were announced with effect from March 4, 1922. It was noted they were an approximate reduction of $500 to $600 from the prices at August 1. The new prices were:</p><br>
<h2>Series 4</h2><br>
<p>A new series 4 model was announced in August 1922 with enlarged cylinder bores giving more horsepower with improved gas consumption. Pistons had been lightened and an automatic spark advance and a new exhaust muffler fitted. There was a larger steering wheel and changes had been made to the springs. A taller radiator and a new design of wire wheels were fitted.</p><br>
<h3>H. C. S. Cab Manufacturing Co</h3><br>
<p>The struggle continued. Stutz left his Stutz Fire Apparatus Company and took control at H. C. S. In mid-1924, H. C. S. announced its engineers had designed a new taxicab that was lighter than competitors&#39; cars and easier to maintain. A feature of all the H. C. S. cars was the easy accessibility of major components. Design allowed each engine accessory to be serviced without removing or dismantling any other accessories. The press was shown the taxi prototype and photographs were published in December 1924.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>Stutz retreated to Orlando, Florida, in 1925, leaving his car and fire engine businesses to flounder. The next year H. C. S. Motor Car Company was placed in a trust for creditors under the management of Harry&#39;s one-time assistant (1920-1925), Charles Merz, an engineer and former race driver.</p><br>
<p>The company was liquidated in 1927.</p><br>

<p>The Clio Depot is a former railroad depot located at 300-308 West Vienna Road in Clio, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1861, the Pere Marquette Railway constructed a line through Clio to Flint (now the CSX Saginaw Subdivision). The depot in Clio was constructed in 1873 to service the line. The building was used by the railroad until 1960. After its use as a depot was discontinued, it spent some time as a laundromat. The building was purchased by the Clio Area Historic Association in 1977, and was renovated in the 1980s to turn into a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Clio Depot is a one-story vernacular frame structure clad with clapboard. The building is rectangular and has a gable roof. Decoration is minimal, confined to the pedimented hoods located above the windows and doors.</p><br>
<p>The Fenton Railroad Depot is a former railroad depot located at 207 Silver Lake Road in Fenton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Fenton and Robert Leroy founded Fentonville because they believed that a proposed railroad line though Michigan would run through the settlement, making Fentonville a shipping center for the surrounding area. In 1856 the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway did indeed construct a line through the village, establishing the first railroad in the county. The original depot built in Fentonville was a wood-framed building on the north side of the tracks. Over time, Fenton experienced a spurt of growth due to the arrival of the railroad, and the area around the depot was developed with related businesses.</p><br>
<p>In about 1880, the wooden depot burned. In 1882, a new brick depot was constructed on the south side of the tracks. The brick to build the depot was reportedly shipped in from Saranac and Owosso. The new depot served as built until 1923, when it suffered a fire, destroying the roof. The roof was rebuilt to make the structure seen today.</p><br>
<p>The Fenton Depot served the railroad until 1974. After that time, it was purchased by the city of Fenton, and used by the city for various offices, including the Economic Development Office.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Fenton Railroad Depot is a light yellow and red pressed brick structure. Originally built with a gable roof, the current hipped roof with flared eaves was added after the 1923 fire. The interior of the depot remains intact.</p><br>

<p>The Genesee Avenue–Walker Street Historic District is a primarily commercial- and railroad-oriented historic district, located along three blocks of Walker Street and one intersecting block of Genesee Avenue in Gaines, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gaines, named for War of 1812 Veteran Edmund T. Gaines, was founded in 1859, soon after the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway laid tracks through Genesee County and established a station at the location. A small village sprang up, with two hotels established in the 1860s, and a grain elevator and numerous stores and businesses constructed by 1875. However, the 1870s marked the peak of the growth in Gaines, and the downtown remained concentrated in a single block. It served as a transportation hub for the local economy, until the last passenger train run in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district includes a total of 16 properties, of which all but three contribute to the historical character of the district. Of the 16, seven are commercial, six are railroad-related, one is residential, one is a post office, and the remaining building is a city hall. The district encompasses a T-shaped area, including structures along both sides of Genesee Avenue between Lord and Walker streets, and six structures between Walker Street and the railroad tracks between Washington and Elm streets.</p><br>
<p>The most visually distinctive structure in the district is the L-plan depot, constructed of uncommon yellow and red brick. Built in 1884 to replace the original depot, it is a single-story depot Victorian Eclectic building with decorative features such as circular openings, stepped corbeling in the gable ends, and large wooden brackets, terminating in stone, supporting the eaves.</p><br>
<p>The remaining buildings include two frame warehouses, lumberyard, and a grain elevator located alongside the railroad tracks. These are functional in design. The buildings along Genesee Avenue are primarily one- and two-story commercial buildings constructed from brick, though a few frame structures are included. The storefronts have 19th century Italianate and Victorian Eclectic features, including cast iron columns, cornices, and recessed entrances.</p><br>

<p>The William A. Paterson Factory Complex was a factory located at 126 East 3rd Street in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The building was demolished in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William A. Paterson was born on October 3, 1838, in Fergus, Ontario. He apprenticed with the carriage blacksmith firm of Scott and Watson in Guelph, Ontario, then moved to Vermont and Massachusetts, where he and worked producing Concord Wagons and Wells-Fargo stagecoaches. He soon struck out on his own, working in multiple places in the 1860s before finally making his way to the City of Flint in 1869. There, he opened a wagon repair shop, and soon expanded into producing his own vehicles. By the 1880s, Paterson&#39;s firm employed ten people, and could build one buggy and one cart per day.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-1880s, Paterson had the means to begin construction of a large-scale factory building. He constructed the first part of this building on the corner of Third and Harrison Streets; upon completion, he was the largest manufacturer of vehicles in the area. In 1885, William C. Durant and J. Dallas Dort approached Paterson with a proposition to produce road carts, and soon Paterson had contracts to produce over 10,000 carts. He immediately expanded his operation, expanding into an adjacent building in 1885 and constructing an additional building in 1887. Paterson and Durant-Dort soon parted ways, but Paterson continued to prosper and slowly expand. After an 1894 fire, Paterson rebuilt and further expanded his plant. He added another building in 1895-97, and an addition to the original building in 1898.</p><br>
<p>By 1901, Patersons company employed 350 people and produced over 23,000 vehicles a year. The firm added another building in 1905. In 1908, Paterson entered the world of automobiles by manufacturing the Paterson Auto Buggy. Paterson automobiles continued to be manufactured in to the 1920s. William A. Paterson, however, died of pneumonia in 1921. His son, William S. Paterson, took over the business, but by that time automobile manufacturers were consolidating, the Patersons company was too small to survive. The firm was sold in 1923, but the new owners dropped the Paterson line of cars.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the factory was sold, with plans to convert it into apartments. In 1928, it became the original home of the Flint Institute of Arts. The first floor was occupied for years by a wallpaper and paint firm. Other tenants included Baker Business College, a Social Security office, the Internal Revenue Service, and a variety of commercial and industrial firms. However, in 1996, the rear wall of the building collapsed, rendering it unsafe; the building was razed and turned into a parking lot. A small historical marker, constructed with salvaged bricks, commemorates the site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The William A. Paterson Factory Complex consisted of four major buildings occupying approximately one-third of a city block. The oldest building was a single-story brick-and-wood shed, probably built in the late 1870s or early 1880s. The next two were a three-story brick building constructed between 1885 and 1887, and a second three-story, L-shaped building constructed between 1895 and 1897. The facades of these two buildings had balanced window placements between heavy brick piers. The fourth building was constructed in 1905, at the time Paterson transited from manufacturing carts and buggies to manufacturing automobiles. This building was a five-story structure clad with paving brick. It had a balanced window placement and a stepped brick cornice-line.</p><br>
<p>The Dodge Mining Camp Cabin is located in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cabin was built by Henry Dodge. Dodge was a noted military officer who would later become Governor of the Wisconsin Territory and a member of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Believed to be the oldest building in Iowa County, Wisconsin, the cabin was previously located down the road at 217 East Fountain Street before being moved to its current location. Currently, it serves as a museum. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Cokedale Historic District, in Cokedale, Colorado, is a 450 acre historic district which is roughly bounded by Church, Maple, Pine, Elm, and Spruce Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included 92 contributing buildings, seven contributing structures, and two contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as an example of a company-owned coal camp and for its association with the coal mining and coking industry in southern Colorado. Most other such coal camps were dismantled after World War I, but Cokedale continued to operate as a company town until 1947.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nominationIt was long heralded as a "model" camp, with housing, educational and recreational facilities provided for its inhabitants by their employer, the American Smelting and Refining Company. Most of the houses and public and commercial buildings have survived essentially</p><br>
<p>intact, with few contemporary intrusions, to become the most representative remaining such town in Colorado.</p><br>
<p>The town was built starting in 1906 by the Carbon Coal and Coke Company, a subsidiary of American Smelting and Refining Company. Denver architect James Murdoch designed workers&#39; houses of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 rooms; a camp store; a boarding house; a school; and a mine office. Most buildings had sandstone foundations and walls of cinderblocks made from coke and cement. There was also a group of frame buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Northbank Center, formerly known as the Industrial Savings Bank Building, is an office and educational building located at 432 North Saginaw Street in Flint, Michigan. The building is now part of University of Michigan–Flint. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Industrial Savings Bank was founded in 1909 to serve merchants and factory workers on Flints north side. However, during Flints economic boom period in the first two decades of the twentieth century, the bank quickly grew, serving customers citywide. By 1913, the bank was ready to move into a new, larger building. However, it did not close the original location, becoming the first bank in the city to have multiple locations. Soon, Industrial Savings had six branch offices. By 1922, the bank was ready to expand again, and they hired the New York architectural firm of Davis, McGrath & Kiessling to design this building. Construction started in 1922 by the Realty Construction Co. of Flint, and the building was completed in 1923.</p><br>
<p>In addition to housing the Industrial Savings Bank headquarters, the building also housed the Industrial Mutual Association, an early Flint benefit society. The Industrial Savings Bank flourished during the 1920s, and in 1929 merged with the Union Trust and Savings Bank. The new bank, the Union Industrial Trust and Savings Bank, began construction on a new building (now the home of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation). The bank continued operations into the Great Depression, but like many banks experienced troubles, and closed permanently in 1933.</p><br>
<p>The bank&#39;s assets, including the 1922 building, were placed in receivership. Several attempts were made to sell the building, but it was not until 1943 that the Greater Flint Industrial Union Council purchased it to use as offices for Congress of Industrial Organizations locals. The building, however, was underutilized, and in 1948 it was sold to a group of investors. Over the next few decades, it housed a variety of businesses, professionals, and governmental offices.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the University of Michigan–Flint opted to purchase the building, now known as the Northbank Center. The building was refurbished in 2000, and as of 2018 houses the UM-Flint Dance Studio, various campus and community offices, a small business hatchery, and the Grand Ballroom.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Northbank Center is a twelve-story, L-shaped, Renaissance Revival building measuring 99 feet by 150 feet, and located on a corner lot. On the main facade, the first three floors form a base, divided into three major bays by paired and fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The pilasters are limestone, with the interior of the bays formed by rusticated granite and multi-pane windows. The base is capped with a limestone architrave, frieze, and cornice with the founding dates and the words "Industrial Savings Bank Building" in the entablature.</p><br>
<p>The facade above is ten bays wide, with a piano nobile stretched over seven floors. Each bay contains a double-hung sash window. Construction is brick, with a limestone bandcourse every two floors and rusticated granite quoining on the corners. A double-molded bandcourse separates the main section from the upper two floors. The eleventh floor has twelve six-pane casement windows separated by limestone panels. A corniceline is above the eleventh floor, and the twelfth floor is recessed, forming a rooftop terrace, with the twelfth-floor facade nearly invisible from the street level. The twelfth floor similar to the eleventh, but has a stucco finish and a decorative balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The side facade is eight bays wide at the ground floor. The facade is similar to the main side, but for the elimination of the paired pilasters in the base, and the twelfth floor, which is recessed only in the corner sections.</p><br>
<p>The Elam Ives House is a historic house at 95 Ives Street in Hamden, Connecticut. Built in 1790, it is one of Hamden&#39;s oldest houses, and was home to the economically important Ives family, from whom the Ivesville area takes its name. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Elam Ives House is located in central eastern Hamden, on the south side of Ives Street (Connecticut Route 22) just west of the Mill River.

The entrance is simply framed, with a four-light transom window above. The interior is said to be relatively unaltered from its period of construction about 1790.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1790 by Elam Ives Sr., who farmed the land and engaged in other business pursuits. Ives&#39; sons became active in industrializing the area, taking advantage of the failure of the Farmington Canal to convert its water power to productive business uses. The area became known as Ivesville through the extensive business activities of James Ives; other sons were also involved in the carriage making industry that became important in Hamden and New Haven.</p><br>
<p>The house was acquired in 1912 by the local water authority, due to its location in a sensitive watershed area. It has owned the property since, occasionally renting it out.</p><br>
<p>The Abner C. Johnson House is a single family home located at 625 East Street in, Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Abner C. Johnson was born in Canajoharie, New York in 1821. His family moved to Bloomfield, Michigan in 1828, and in 1836 relocated to Independence Township. In 1839, Abner moved out and purchased land in Mundy Township in Genesee County and began a successful farm. He also began studying law with George W. Wisner, and became one of the first attorneys in Genesee County. Johnson married Amanda Pearsall in 1845; the couple had three children. Soon, Johnson began a partnership with Wisners brother Moses Wisner (later the governor of Michigan), buying and selling timberland. The partners made a fortune during the areas timber boom.</p><br>
<p>Johnson remained living on his farm, but by the 1860s he was spending more and more time in Flint pursuing both legal and business opportunities. Finally, in 1873, he constructed this house in Flint and moved his family there. Abner and Amanda Johnson stayed in the house until their deaths, after which their eldest son Charles inherited the property. The younger Johnson, born in 1847, was also a lawyer, and founded one of the largest law firms in Flint. He also lived in the house until his death. After that, family members of Charles Johnson&#39;s brothers, Ransom and James, stayed in the house until 1941. After that, the Johnson family retained ownership, but subdivided the house into apartments. In 1986, new owners purchase the house and converted it back to a single family home.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Abner C. Johnson House is a The two-story wood-framed Italianate house clad in brown brick. The original section is rectangular, measuring thirty-six</p><br>
<p>feet by twenty-eight feet. It sits on a high basement made of multicolored dressed fieldstone. It has a hipped roof with wide eaves and paired corner brackets; a fourteen by eight foot clapboard-covered belvedere tops the building.</p><br>
<p>The front facade of the house is three bays wide with a projecting center bay containing arches through which the decoratively carved double entry doors can be reached. On the second floor are a pair of rounded arch windows in a single arched opening. Pairs of rounded arch, one-over-one double hung windows are in each of the other bays on both floors. A single-story, hip roof, clapboard clad addition is at the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Ives-Baldwin House is a historic house at 474 Baldwin Avenue in Meriden, Connecticut. Built about 1798, it is a well-preserved example of a late 18th-century farmhouse, a rare property type in the now largely industrial town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ives-Baldwin House is in a rural-suburban area of northeastern Meriden, on the north side of Baldwin Avenue near its junction with Winding Brook Lane. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around a center entrance. The entrance is simply framed, with a transom window above. A gabled ell extends to the rear. The interior retains many original features, including window framing, doors, and fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1798 by Thomas Ives, a carpenter. Stylistically, it is an unusually late example of a traditional Georgian style (more typically built in the mid-18th century), and is distinctive for its well-preserved interior plan and features. Ives sold the house to Moses Baldwin in 1815, in whose family it remained for a century. Moses was a successful farmer and local mill owner, who also served as town selectman; his son Nathan continued his father&#39;s businesses. The property remained in use as farmland until roughly the end of World War II, after which the surrounding land was sold off in sections for suburban residential development.</p><br>
<p>The Alphonso Johnson House is a historic house at 1 Gilbert Avenue in Hamden, Connecticut. Built in 1859, it is one of the town&#39;s few 19th-century brick houses, and a distinctive example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alphonso Johnson House is located in what is now a suburban residential area of southern Hamden, at the northwest corner of Gilbert and Circular Avenues. It is a -story structure, built with load-bearing brick walls and covered by a gabled roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with a -story brick ell to the right, and a 20th-century garage to the rear. The brick is laid in common bond, and the roof is of a shallow pitch typical of the Greek Revival period. The front facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the center bay, flanked by elongated sash windows. A single-story porch extends across the facade, with Italianate square paneled posts and a balustrade with heavy turned balusters. Most windows are rectangular sash, but there is one round-arch window, set on the east facade where it illuminates the stairwell. Most of the interior now has modern finishes, but some original period detailing remains in two of the downstairs rooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1859 by Alphonso Johnson, who grew up in a house (no longer standing) that was located across the street. The house was probably built using bricks made in the Johnson brickyard, which was located to the northwest on Wilmot Brook. It is one of a small number of brick houses to survive from the 19th century in the town, and has Italianate features reminiscent of the work of New Haven architect Henry Austin, applied to a more traditionally Greek Revival house shape.</p><br>
<p>The H.E. McElroy House in Boise, Idaho, USA, was designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1901 in a neighborhood now designated the Fort Street Historic District. The brick veneer, -story Colonial design features a rectangular, symmetrical facade with a ridgebeam parallel to the street and an entry porch supported by Doric columns above flared, shingled walls. Dormers and gables are covered with square-cut and fish-scale shingles.</p><br>
<p>Hugh E. McElroy was a Boise attorney who helped to organize Idaho&#39;s Progressive Party. McElroy ran for governor as a Progressive candidate in 1914, but he lost the election to Democrat Moses Alexander.</p><br>
<p>The Genesee County Courthouse is a government building located at 920 South Saginaw Street in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Genesee County was carved out in 1835, and the land for the courthouse square was immediately identified. The owners at the time donated it to the county at the end of the year, and the county government was formally recognized by the territory of Michigan in 1836. The county courts first met in various stores, and the first courthouse at the current site, a log structure, was constructed in 1838–1839. The log building was deemed unsafe to hold county records, and in 1851 a brick office building was added. The log courthouse burned in 1866, and by 1867 the county constructed a new courthouse, jail, and sheriff&#39;s office. By the early 1900s, these buildings were too small for the county, and in 1904–1905, a new a new Renaissance Revival-style courthouse and jail were constructed.</p><br>
<p>The 1905 courthouse burned in 1923, and after much wrangling, voters approved the construction of a new courthouse in 1925. Frederick D. Madison of Royal Oak, Michigan, was selected as architect and F. R. Patterson Construction Company, also of Royal Oak, was selected as the contractor. Work began in 1925, and was completed in 1926. A new matching jail, also designed by Madison, was constructed in 1930–1931.</p><br>
<p>A new county building was constructed in 1966, and some county functions were moved, but the main courthouse remained in use. An addition to the jail was constructed in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Genesee County Courthouse is a five-story, rectangular, Classical Revival, reinforced concrete-frame building. It is faced in Indiana limestone. The main facade is divided visually into three horizontal bands. The two-story base is finished in stone and capped with a classical cornice. Atop that is a two-story section containing a row of monumental extending across the central section of the facade. Atop the columns is a classical entablature, above which is a massive flat-topped parapet. On the interior, the older section of the courthouse contains seven courtrooms.</p><br>
<p>Nearby is the former county jail, which is a six-story building, which is constructed in a similar scale, and from similar materials, as the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Johnson House is a historic house at 153 South Main Street in Wallingford, Connecticut. Built in 1866, it is a distinctive local example of Italianate architecture.

<p>The Franklin Johnson House is located in a residential area south of Wallingfords central business district on the west side of South Main Street south of Prince Street. It is a -story masonry structure, built out of brick that has been finished with stucco-like concrete scored to resemble stone. It is covered by a low-pitch hip roof, at whose center is a square cupola. The roof eaves are decorated with large carved brackets, and the cupola, a reproduction of the buildings original one (lost in the New England hurricane of 1938) also exhibits Italianate features. The main facade is three bays wide, and its first floor is sheltered by a porch with tapered and fluted round columns separated by iron balustrades. Windows are set in rectangular openings that have pink granite lintels and sills. To the rear of the property there is a multi-seat outhouse, built with stylistically similar materials.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1866 for Franklin Johnson, a local man active in real estate. It remained in residential use until about 1980, at which time it was converted to professional office use. It has since been adapted to house the American Silver Museum. The house is a distinctive example of Italianate architecture, in the style promoted by New Haven architect Henry Austin; its designer is unknown.</p><br>
<p>The Theophilus Jones House is a historic house at 40 Jones Road in Wallingford, Connecticut.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Theophilus Jones House stands in a residential area southwest of downtown Wallingford, on the west side of Jones Road south of Apple Tree Lane. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance.

<p>The second span has been lost.</p><br>
<p>The Beach–Garland Street–Flint River Bridge was a historic Luten arch bridge carrying Beach and Garland streets over the Flint River in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The bridge served from 1921 until 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1920, there were only two major bridges crossing the river in the city of Flint. Due to its recent growth, this was inadequate for the transportation needs of the city. To help ease the congestion, the city instructed City Engineer Ezra Shoecraft to develop plans for a new bridge, crossing the river to connect Garland Street on the north and Beach Street on the south. Shoecraft commissioned Indianapolis bridge designer Daniel B. Luten, who had earlier designed other Flint bridges (including the still extant West Second Street–Swartz Creek Bridge), to create a design for the new bridge. Luten delineated several options, and the city chose among them. The city awarded the contract to build the new bridge to the Illinois Bridge Company of Chicago, who had been the contractor for the city&#39;s previous Luten arch bridges. Work on the new bridge began in October 1920, and was completed in the fall of 1921.</p><br>
<p>By 2006, the bridge had deteriorated, with concrete spalling on the arches and sidewalks. In the middle of the year, the bridge was demolished and replaced.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Beach–Garland Street Bridge was a two-span Luten arch concrete bridge, constructed from two heavily skewed filled spandrel arches spanning 80 feet. The arches were supported by massive concrete abutments on each bank and a central pier with bullnosed cutwaters. The arches were elliptically shaped with tapered arch rings marked with incised lines in the concrete. The arches supported an asphalt-surfaced roadway, flanked on both sides by concrete sidewalks which were cantilevered over the arch supports. Running external to the sidewalks were concrete guardrails with classical, cast-concrete balusters.</p><br>
<h2>Replacement</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was demolished and replaced in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Mansfield House is a historic house at 35 Jewett Street in Ansonia, Connecticut. Built at the turn of the 17th-century, it is one of the community&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and is noted for its association with a prominent early Episcopal minister. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Richard Mansfield House is located in a residential area east of downtown Ansonia, on the east side of Jewett Street just south of its junction with Root Avenue. It is set close to the street, with a low fieldstone retaining wall. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, stone chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The rear roof face extends to the first floor, giving the house a classic New England saltbox profile. The front facade is five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance. The gable ends at the sides project slightly beyond the faces of the lower wall sections. The interior retains a number of original features, include a fireplace surround.</p><br>
<p>The house has a build date of at least 1700 and was purchased for Reverend Richard Mansfield, a native of New Haven in 1748. Mansfield had been raised a Congregationalist, but converted to the Church of England, and established a mission in Derby (which Ansonia was then still part of). Mansfield had to flee during the American Revolutionary War due to his Loyalist leanings, but returned and continued to serve in the local Episcopal church until his death in 1820. The house was moved across the street from its original location in 1926, to make way for the church now standing there.</p><br>

<p>The Caldwell Carnegie Library in Caldwell, Idaho, also known as the Caldwell Veterans Memorial Hall, was constructed from a grant by the Carnegie library foundation. The building opened in 1914 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 18, 1979. Its modest, 1-story Renaissance design is credited to Charles Carroll Soule and features reading rooms on either side of the main entrance. The building also includes a full basement with lecture hall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1887 the Woman&#39;s Christian Temperance Union founded a private library in Caldwell, and before 1909 the city operated a public library. But in 1909 the Caldwell Commercial Club was actively promoting a new library, and Dr. W. C. Stalker, a Caldwell dentist, wrote to the Carnegie Foundation requesting a grant.</p><br>
<p>In April, 1912, Caldwell received a grant of $12,500 under the direction of James Bertram, secretary to Andrew Carnegie and supervisor of the Carnegie library grant process. By December, 1912, excavation for a new library was completed at the northeast corner of 11th Avenue and Cleveland Boulevard, although a construction contract was not signed until October, 1913.</p><br>
<p>Caldwell Carnegie Library opened May 2, 1914, with a ceremony that included an hour of orchestral music and selections by local composer Frederick F. Beale. The library operated until 1976, when it became office space for Caldwell Public Schools.</p><br>
<p>The building was remodeled in 1929 to include a portico and pediment covering the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 the city reacquired the building, and a lease agreement was reached with the Caldwell Veterans Council. After an extensive renovation that included removal of the front portico added in 1929, the building reopened in 2017 under the name, Caldwell Veterans Memorial Hall.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1858, the partnership of Meigs, Stone and Witherbee opened the Exchange Bank in Flint, with Austin B. Witherbee acting as a local representative, with two out-of-town partners. In 1864, Witherbee bought out his partners, and in 1865 reorganized it as the First National Bank; this became the First National Bank of Flint in 1905. In 1916, the bank consolidated some business aspects with the Genesee County Savings Bank. Due to Flint&#39;s booming economy, both banks were outgrowing their headquarters, and in 1919, First National purchased a lot on which to build. In 1923, they hired the local architectural firm of J.W. Cook to design a new building, and began construction. The building was completed in 1924.</p><br>
<p>The new building housed not only the bank, but the rental space on the upper floors was designed to house doctors and dentists. Over the rest of the 1920s, the bank grew tremendously, and in 1929 fully merged with the Genesee County Savings Bank, renaming itself the First National Bank and Trust Company. The merger created a need for new space, and the bank built an addition to their headquarters, nearly doubling the space. Also designed by J.W. Cook, the annex was completed in 1930. However, the 1930s also brought the Great Depression, and in 1933 the bank merged with the Union Industrial Savings Bank in order to remain open. However, both banks soon entered receivership. Liquidation of the First National Bank and Trust Companys assets began in 1934, and was not completed until 1940. The bank building was purchased by William Ballenger, a former board member, in 1940. A womans clothing store opened in the former banking space, with professional offices still occupying the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, the First Federal Savings and Loan Association purchased the building from the Ballenger Trust. In 2004, the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation received the building, and began restoration and rehabilitation, creating apartments upstairs and a bank space on the street level.</p><br>

<p>The Church of the Epiphany Iglesia de La Epifania  is the oldest operating Episcopal church in Los Angeles. The church&#39;s campus is located at the intersection of Sichel and Altura streets in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. In 2005 it was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was founded in 1887. The original church was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by English architect Ernest Coxhead. In 1913 that building was converted to the parish hall and Arthur Benton was commissioned to design a new church sanctuary. Benton&#39;s structure incorporated Gothic Revival and Mission Revival in addition to Romanesque Revival. The pipe organ was designed by Henry Pilcher & Sons of Louisville, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>In 1968, the church served as a planning base for the East L.A. Chicano student walkouts and the Chicano Moratorium anti-Vietnam War protest. Cesar Chavez gave speeches in the parish hall and La Raza, an underground pro-Chicano newspaper, was printed in the church basement.</p><br>
<p>The non-profit Epiphany Conservation Trust was founded in 2010 to raise funds to restore the church. Restoration is being directed by the Los Angeles firm of Escher GuneWardena Architecture. Repairs began in 2011 and to date have covered structural work on the parish hall and restoration of four stained glass windows.</p><br>
<p>The Congregation has English and Spanish services but carry most ministries together in a multicultural manner, most of the Parish traditions are strongly Anglo-Catholic with a Progressive mindset as most Episcopal churches in the county.</p><br>
<p>Currently is on a Mission status and is led by Reverend Jose Garcia a native from Cuernavaca, Mexico.</p><br>

<p>The Matthews and Willard Factory was a historic industrial site at Cherry Avenue and North Elm Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. Founded in 1874, Matthews and Willard contributed to the expansion of Waterbury&#39;s brass processing industry. The plant remained little altered from its last period of expansion c. 1900, and was a good example of period industrial architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, and was demolished in 2012. As of 2018, the site stands vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Matthews and Willard Factory stood in a densely built industrial and residential area north of downtown Waterbury, just south of the Waterbury Clock Company complex on the east side of North Elm Street. The factory consisted of an interconnected series of brick buildings, bounded on the north by Cherry Avenue and the east by Maple Street. Buildings ranged in height from one to 3-1/2 stories, and were covered by either gabled or flat roofs. Its most prominent feature was a four-story tower, located at the complex&#39;s southwest corner and topped by a hip roof.</p><br>
<p>Matthews and Willard was founded in 1848 by Henry Matthews, who manufactured brass items for use in saddlery. The first building in this complex was built in 1870, after Matthews took on William Stanley as a business partner. Stanley was later replaced by Samuel Willard, and the plant underwent several expansions in the 1880s. The company failed in 1890, a consequence of price fixing by larger competitors, and the plant was taken over by Scovill Manufacturing. It operated there until 1945. The complex was demolished in 2012, with many of its parts recycled into other construction uses.</p><br>

<p>The Berridge Hotel, also known as Berridge Place, is a former hotel located at 421 Garland Street in Flint, Michigan. It has been renovated into apartments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John C. Berridge was born in Flint in 1879 to Walter Berridge, who owned a local store dealing in groceries, drugs, and meats. John attended the Detroit College of Medicine, graduating in 1900, and went on to become a pharmacist. He returned to Flint in 1908 and became a partner in the Flint Drug Company, eventually becoming sole owner of the company.</p><br>
<p>Flint at the beginning of the twentieth century was experiencing explosive growth tied to the growth of the automotive industry. The city&#39;s population increased from under 40,000 in 1910 to over 150,000 in 1930. This increase in population severely crimped the housing supply in the area, particularly for auto workers newly arrived in town. Berridge first entered the real estate market in 1919, when he purchased and moved into the Tinlinn Apartments, an upscale apartment building on Garland Street. In 1926, he hired contractor John A. Pearl of Detroit to construct a large hotel/apartment building on the lot next door to the Tinlinn.</p><br>
<p>The Berridge Hotel opened in 1928 as a lower-end residence hotel, offering reasonable weekly rates; it was likely marketed toward newcomers to town. Berridge operated the hotel until 1938, when Citizens Bank foreclosed on both it and the Tinlinn. C.J. Buehlmann, manager of Flint&#39;s Capital Hotel, purchased the hotel and ran it until his death in 1957, after which it was run by his wife and daughter. After the Buehlmanns, a series of reality companies operated the hotel until 1980, when Mr. and Mrs. Walter Drawl purchased the hotel. The Drawls ran it until 2006, with long haul truck drivers forming much of their clientele.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was purchased by the Genesee County Land Bank in 2006. After a $6 million renovation that converted it into 17 loft apartments, the building reopened as the Berridge Place in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Berridge Hotel is a 3-1/2-story, flat-roof, red-orange brick hotel building, built in a U shape. The main facade is seven bays wide, with a single central entrance framed with limestone pilasters. The center entrance is flanked by two storefronts, each one story high and three bays wide, with limestone piers at the corners. A brick signband with a limestone cornice separates the first floor from the upper floors. The upper floors have window openings with limestone sills, and limestone quoining on the corners of the building. An architrave band, brick frieze, and projecting cornice runs along the top. In the center is a metal plaque with "1928" on it, and a metal sign just below reading "Flint Berridge Hotel."</p><br>
<p>The Medad Stone Tavern is a historic house museum at 191 Three Mile Course in Guilford, Connecticut. Built in 1803 but never actually used as a tavern, it is well-preserved example of early 19th-century Federal period architecture. It is now maintained as a museum by a local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Medad Stone Tavern is located in a rural-residential setting west of Guilford Center, on the west side of Three Mile Course just south of a stream which feeds the West River. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof and clapboarded exterior, set on a sloping lot which exposes the entire front of the basement level. The roof is pierced by five gabled dormers, with brick chimneys set near the ends. The front facade is covered by a shed-roof porch that appears two stories in height due to the basement frontage. The main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows and a central entrance. The entrance is flanked by wide sidelight windows. The house is set on about 10 acre along with a barn, corn crib, and garage.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built in 1803 by Medad Stone, along what was then a proposed new route for the Boston Post Road. Stone intended to operate a tavern here, but because the road was never realigned, he never did so, and it was only used as a private residence. It was occupied by the Davis family, who farmed the surrounding land for nearly 200 years. In 2001, the Davises gave the house to the Guilford Keeping Society, which has restored it and opened it as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Meeting House Hill Historic District encompasses the historic religious center of North Guilford, Connecticut. Located on Ledge Hill Road, the district includes two churches , a cemetery, and Ledge Hill Road itself, which dates to the early 18th century. The arrangement is reflective of a spirit of religious tolerance that manifested in the early 19th century, allowing churches from two different congregations  to heal long-standing divisions. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>North Guilford was an agricultural outpost of the town of Guilford from its early settlement. In 1705, land was set aside for a common, and in 1717 land was allocated for a meeting house and cemetery. The local population was at the time strongly Congregationalist, and the town levied church taxes that supported the Congregational church that was built there. In 1747, a segment of the North Guilford population formally declared itself for the Church of England, and built a second church at a location to the south. These adherents objected to the church tax, leading to acrimonious disputes in the town. In the early 19th century, a spirit of reconciliation prevailed, and the Congregationalists agreed to permit the Episcopalian successors to the Anglicans to build their church on land adjacent to theirs.</p><br>
<p>Meetinghouse Hill is located in rural northern Guilford, occupying a prominent hilltop location. It is accessed via Ledge Hill Road, which was laid out in the early 18th century to provide access to the site. The cemetery is on the west side of the road, and the buildings of the two churches are located on the east side. The North Guilford Congregational Church is the northern of the two churches: it is a Federal style building constructed in 1812-14 by Abraham Coan. To its south stands St. Johns Episcopal Church, also built about 1812-14, is a more eclectic mix of Classical and Gothic elements, reflective of alterations made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Congregational church is accompanied by an 1823 parsonage and a Victorian (1887–88) parish hall that now houses a school. Adjacent to St. Johns stands its former rectory, a Greek Revival house built in 1851.</p><br>

<p>The Saint Anne Historic District encompasses a collection of institutional buildings associated with the French Canadian Roman Catholic community in Berlin, New Hampshire. The district includes the St. Anne Church, the St. Regis School, and the St. Louis Hospital, all facilities built by the church to support the local French Canadian community. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Berlins French Canadian community has its beginnings in the 1860s, after the Grand Trunk Railway began service to the area. Saint Annes was its first Roman Catholic parish, established in 1867. The parish grew rapidly as the city became a lumber processing center, and the present church was built in 1900 to a design by Archibald I. Lawrence, a local architect. The St. Regis Academy was founded in 1889, and its present building was completed in 1911. St. Louis Hospital, a 63-bed facility, was opened in 1905. The hospital closed in 1978, and has been converted into housing.</p><br>
<p>This complex of buildings is located northeast of Berlin&#39;s central business district, on three blocks bounded by Pleasant, Main, Church, School, and Success streets. The church, located at the western end of the grouping, is a distinctive example of Romanesque architecture, and is separately listed on the National Register. The academy is located just to its east, facing Main Street, with the parish hall located behind it. The former hospital building is located at the eastern end of the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Meriden Curtain Fixture Company Factory is a historic factory complex at 122 Charles Street in Meriden, Connecticut. Built in 1892 for a company founded in 1869, it is a good example of late-19th century industrial architecture, and is notable for its association with Charles Parker, one of the city&#39;s leading industrialists of the period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The complex has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Meriden Curtain Fixture Company Factory is located two blocks south of Main Street in central Meriden, occupying most of one city block on the north side of Charles Street between Broad Street and Parker Avenue. The factory consists of six buildings, five of which are connected in a roughly linear east-west arrangement; the sixth, the generator/boiler house, is detached and stands to the north. The buildings range in height from one to six stories, with building 3, the tallest, capped by a distinctive mansard roof. The complex is unified visually by band of decorative tilework just below the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The curtain fixture business was begun in 1869 by Sawyer & Buckley, and was later taken over by the Charles Parker Company. Parker, then managed by Charles Parker&#39;s son Wilbur, greatly expanded the business, overseeing construction of the majority of this complex in 1892. It was the largest manufacturer in the nation that produced curtain rollers, fringing, and curtain cloth. The business was acquired in 1905 by the Columbia Shade Company. In the 20th century it had a variety of smaller tenants, and was eventually converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Andrews Mill Company Plant is a historic industrial complex at 761 Great Road in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Built beginning in 1918, it was home to a maker of French worsted wool textiles, part of a major industrial development push in northern Rhode Island at the time. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Andrews Mill Company Plant is located in North Smithfield&#39;s Branch Village, on the north side of Great Road (Rhode Island Route 146A) a short way east of the Route 146 highway. It is set on 32 acre of land bordered on the north and east by the Branch River, a tributary of the Blackstone River. The complex has three historic buildings: the main weave shed, a connected boiler house, and a freestanding machine shop. The weave shed is a large building that is two stories in height, but presents a single story to the street, due to sloping terrain. The building is notable in part for its late-stage example of a sawtooth roof, a type that was eventually phased out with the advent of improved indoor lighting. There are several other later-20th century buildings on the site that are not historic.</p><br>
<p>The site has seen industrial uses of some form since at least 1795, when the water power of the river was first harnessed for the manufacture of scythes. Its first use for textile production was about 1870, and a major textile works that operated there was destroyed by fire in 1915. It was purchased in 1918 by the Andrews Mill Company of Frankford, Pennsylvania, the American subsidiary of a French textile manufacturer. Its decision to locate there was based in part on the efforts of Aram Pothier, a French Canadian businessman and politician, and the presence in nearby Woonsocket of a large French-speaking working class. The mill operated only into the 1920s under this ownership, and was acquired by the Uxbridge Worsted Company in 1936. In 1955 it was leased to the Tupper Corporation, maker of Tupperware, which purchased it in 1958. Tupper shuttered the plant in 1994, after which it was used as a recycling plant. As of 2018, it has been vacant for some time.</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank Building in Craig, Colorado was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>According to ColoradoHistory, "The two-story brick building was constructed in 1917 during the period of local economic optimism that followed the coming of the railroad in 1913. It remains Craig’s most important example of early 20th century commercial architecture."</p><br>
<p>Carl Howelson, a famous Norwegian skijumper and mason, is believed to have laid the brickwork. A man named Charles R. Taylor is associated as either the architect or contractor.</p><br>
